My broker thought it was dumb when I bought another 900 shares. Long-game, baby.   Apple was once "doomed," too.

Funds are fungible, they just raised 3 billion.

I'll take them at their word.

Does this affect their threshold (percentage) of stock Softbank can own? 

No. Softbank buying back shares of their stock has no quantitative impact on their ownership stake of Sprint. Their ownership percentage of Sprint is only changed by them buying or selling Sprint's stock.

It isn't a matter of taking anyone's word on anything. Funds are fungible is a fact. If I have to projects that need funding and I need to borrow to fund one and find the other out of cashflow it is meaningless to sayer borrowed to fund A but don't worry we didn't borrow to fund B. Because borrowing to fund A allowed you to fund B out of profits or cashflow.

Looks like the buyback plan was beneficial so far.

Stock buy backs always help investors. It isn't an investment that will increase revenue or profits for the company.

So the D/E ratio is often used as a measure of how healthy a company is. Sprints D/E is around .60. This is a point of concern but not horrible in my opinion. So here is the rub, if you think the company is undervalued then throw the D/E out of the window. Stock prices figure into valuation. You can insert your own valuation of the company and figure out what you think the D/E should be OR you can evaluate the companies plan to deal with debt and fuel growth. If you feel confident in the plan then investing may be a good idea. If you have little to no confidence in the plan then you should probably sell the stock. Most financial folk with a head on their shoulders are forecasting healthy profit gains for Sprint this year.

Sprint stock has settled back into the lower $3 range.  Let us not see $2 again!

Sprint has now ended today at $4.  :)

 

I will admit that that I sold off some of my Sprint position @ 3.97 to buy back in if the volatile stock drops to the low $3 again.

As the authors write, "The company's debt problems are no secret."  Aside from a possible future accounting change, they provided no insight into whether Sprint's current efforts would improve its cash flow situation and why.

It's Moffet. I'm only surprised he gets the attention he does, still. It's like asking DigiTimes what is going to be on the next iPhone.

Is it time to sell S. It's lingering around $4

 

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I break even at $4.24 so I will try to hold out a bit more, but if history repeats itself, it'll probably drop back down to the lower $3s within a month.

I sold a small portion of my Sprint position today at breakeven.  With the overall market back to reaching 2016 highs, I am converting more of my portfolio to cash for future bad times.

I still have 12-18 months on my hold strategy.

Sprint stock above $4. Really contemplating whether I should sell now or not.

 

EDIT: Finally decided to sell them off. $4.13/share. Watch it go up to $4.50 in the next month. Just my luck. haha

EDIT2: So, Sprint is now $4.28. Damn it. I needed $4.24 for awhile now and I decide to sell for a slight loss and then they go and do that.

I just sold another small portion of my Sprint holdings at $4.45; need the stock to get back to $6 and beyond to break even on some much older positions from 2+ years ago.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
